schools | Rhythm recognises refugees By Rebecca DiGirolamo Cyriaque Bijenahagera spent 14 years in a Tanzanian refugee camp after fleeing from civil war in his homeland Burundi. Last month he was part of the South Australia Burundian Drummers group which performed at St Aloysius College (SAC) to mark Refugee Week. Among the student audience was Cyriaque’s daughter Gislene who is in Year One at SAC. “Refugee Week is a time to recognise diverse cultures and especially recognise that there are still countries in the world which we need to do more to help,” says Cyriaque. The civil war claimed the lives of his father and two brothers. He fears for the safety of his mother and brother still living in Burundi as tensions rise again. SAC has more than 60 refugee and asylum seeker students from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, eight different African counties, Burma and Vietnam. About nine of these students have been detained in Australian offshore facilities. “There are so many gifts and talents that refugee students bring to our community,” says Year 12 student Zilpa Nikuze, youth ambassador for Refugee Week in SA. “Refugee Week is also important because it helps us forget about our past and think about the future.” of the issues affecting refugees and celebrate the positive contributions made by refugees to Australian society. At St Paul’s College in Gilles Plains, students gave themselves one lunchtime detention on June 22 as an act of solidarity with children held in detention under current government policy. The students gathered in silence holding a paper chain where each link represented a child in detention in Australia and Nauru. APRIM Angela Rogers says the College was responding to three facts: it is not illegal to seek asylum without a visa; Australia signed the refugee convention, which says asylum seekers should not be arbitrarily put in detention; and Australia is the only refugee convention signatory nation that has mandatory detention (no matter what age). In Athelstone, a friendly soccer tournament was played between St Ignatius College students and refugee children from the Adelaide Secondary School of English. Now in its 12th year, the friendship match continues to be a highly-anticipated Refugee Week event for students each year.
